      Yes you can. You wash and scrap the banga stick first in order to get the best flavor out of it. Then put it in the pot after which you pour the banga oil extract into the pot also and then place the pot on the fire. Thereafter you follow all the steps outlined in the video.
      Note that you should leave the banga stick in the pot of stew/soup till you finish the soup as it continues to add and sustain it's unique flavor in the stew/soup.
